    Abstract: In sophisticated integrated circuits, an electronic fuse (200) may be formed such that an increased sensitivity to electromigration may be accomplished by including at least one region of increased current density. This may be accomplished by forming a corresponding fuse region (203) as a non-linear configuration, wherein at corresponding connection portions of linear segments, the desired enhanced current crowding may occur during the application of the programming voltage. Hence, increased reliability and more space- efficient layout of the electronic fuses may be accomplished.

    Abstract: Provided are methods of High Productivity Combinatorial testing of semiconductor substrates, each including multiple site isolated regions. Each site isolated region includes a titanium nitride structure as well as a hafnium oxide structure and/or a polysilicon structure. Each site isolated region is exposed to an etching solution that includes sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and hydrogen fluoride. The composition of the etching solution and/or etching conditions are varied among the site isolated regions to study effects of this variation on the etching selectivity of titanium nitride relative to hafnium oxide and/or polysilicon and on the etching rates. The concentration of sulfuric acid and/or hydrogen peroxide in the etching solution may be less than 7 % by volume each, while the concentration of hydrogen fluoride may be between 50 ppm and 200 ppm. In some embodiments, the temperature of the etching solution is maintained at between about 40C and 60C.

    Abstract: In semiconductor devices, integrity of a titanium nitride material (152) may be increased by exposing the material to an oxygen plasma (110) after forming a thin silicon nitride -based material. The oxygen plasma (110) may result in an additional passivation of any minute surface portions which may not be appropriately covered by the silicon nitride-based material. Consequently, efficient cleaning recipes, such as cleaning processes (111) based on SPM, may be performed after the additional passivation without undue material loss of the titanium nitride material (152). In this manner, sophisticated high-k metal gate stacks may be formed with a very thin protective liner material on the basis of efficient cleaning processes without unduly contributing to a pronounced yield loss in an early manufacturing stage.

    Abstract translation: 在半导体器件中,氮化钛材料(152)的完整性可以通过在形成薄的氮化硅基材料之后将材料暴露于氧等离子体(110)而增加。 氧等离子体(110)可能导致任何微小表面部分的附加钝化,这些微小表面部分可能不被氮化硅基材料适当地覆盖。 因此,可以在附加钝化之后进行有效的清洁配方,例如基于SPM的清洁过程(111),而不会导致氮化钛材料(152)的不必要的材料损失。 以这种方式,可以在有效的清洁过程的基础上形成具有非常薄的保护衬垫材料的复杂的高k金属栅极堆叠,而不会在早期制造阶段中过度地造成显着的产量损失。
